According to the ICES-001 notice the following statement applies to the PyroTec™ PRO:
English
Canadian Radio Interference Regulations
ICES-001 Notice for Industrial, Scientificand Medical Radio Frequency Generators:
This ISM apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian interference-causing equip-
ment regulations.
Please note that this requirement is only for generators that operate at over 10,000 Hz.
Français
Réglementation canadienne en matière de perturbations radioélectriques
Avis de l'ICES-001, générateurs de radiofréquences dans le domaine industriel, scientifique
et médical:Cet appareil ISM(industriel, scientifique et médical) satisfait à toutes les exi-
gences définies parla réglementation canadienne en matière d'équipements générant des
perturbations radioélectriques. Veuillez noter qu'il s'agit d'une exigenceconcernant uni-
quement les générateurs fonctionnant au-delà de 10 000 Hz.
0.5 FCC Rules
Radio
Interference
According to the rules of the US government agency “Federal Communications Commis-
sion (FCC)” the following statement applies to the PyroTec™ PRO:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits fora Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 18 (ISMequipment) of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is oper-
ated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the Operating Manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be re-
quired to correct the interference at his own expense.
ATTENTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

oEquipment should be connected to a grounded power source using an ap-
proved power cord with grounding conductor.
oDo not remove covers and other parts protecting from electricity.
oAlways keep the areas of electric parts, such as power supply plug, mains
switch, etc., dry.
•Though the safety concept assumes that the safety panel is always closed during nor-
mal operation, itis necessaryto have access to the elementsinthe workingareabe-
hind the safety panel forsetup, maintenance and troubleshooting purposes.
•Always be aware of the mechanical hazards.
•Wear laboratory apparel, rubber gloves, safety goggles, etc. as appropriate.
•If the system is leaking, unsafe operating conditions and incorrect measuri ng may re-
sult
oIf liquid is dripping from the tips or otherparts of the liquid system,the
PyroTec™ PRO must not be operated any more.
oOperation may only be resumed if the necessary maintenanceorrepairwork
has been performed and the proper condition of the system has beenverified.
•Electromagnetic RF waves from a cellularphone may affect the function of the liquid
detection.
oFaulty detection of the liquid surfacemay be the consequence, which causes
the system to produce incorrect results.
oKeepa distance of at least 2 m from the instrument when using a cellular
phone
•Parts of the pipetting head are moved with great force.
oInjuries (piercing and crushing) are possible when you reach into the working
area of the pipetting head.
oMake sure that all safety covers are in place before starting the instrument.
oDo not reach into the working area of the instrument
•Regarding all hazards (referring to the listed hazards earlier in this section) pay atten-
tion to the following:
oPrior to using hazardous materials, perform arisk assessment.
oConsider specificworkplaceconditions, such as temperature, airventilation,
and electrostatic discharge.
oMake sure that the risk is acceptable prior to use of the instrument.
oDo not place devices emittingelectromagnetic fields close to the instrument.
oDo not connect devices that may interfere with the supply grid to the same
power line as the instrument.
•Chemical, biological, and radioactive hazards can be associated with the substances
used or the samples and reagents processed with the PyroTec™ PRO (e.g., during load-
ing and unloading). The same applies to waste disposal.

3.2 SafetyElements
3.2.1 Safety Panels
The space around the worktable is protected with safety panels. Whereas the front safety
panel can be opened, the other safety panels are permanently installed on the PyroTec™
PRO.
WARNING
Injuries caused by moving parts
A not completely opened front safety panel might close automatically. Open the front
safety panel completely (more than 180°).
3.2.2 Door Locks
During operation, the frontsafety panel is locked by means of two door locks.
The safety concept of the PyroTec™ PRO assumes that the front safety panel is always
closed when the instrument is running.
3.2.3 Modifications on the Safety Panels
Some options for the PyroTec™ PROrequire modifications on the safety panels. These
modifications must be performed by a Lonza approved FAS (fieldapplication specialist)
when the option is installed.
WARNING
If the options, which requiremodifications on the PyroTec™ PRO, are installedimproperly,
the safety concept may be impaired.
Always make sure that the options are installed in compliance with the instructions given
by the manufacturer.
WARNING
If any safety element fails to operate as expected,e.g. if the doorlocksfail to lock or open
at the expected time, immediately notify the Lonzafield serviceengineer.
